Yoga For Stiff Birds by Marion Deuchars
Yoga is for everyone – if this bird can do it ANYONE can!
Marion Deuchars has practiced yoga for many years, and well knows the benefits it brings. Now she shares that passion with her illustrated character Bob the Bird, whose expressive poses will charm you into a reviving session of yoga breathing, stretching, posing, and mindfulness. Whether you’re a regular practitioner or a yoga novice, this book will encourage even the creakiest reader to breathe, stretch, and bend like they never have before.
Yoga is a philosophy that first developed in India around 2500 years ago, though the exact date is unknown. The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word ‘Yut’, meaning ‘to join’ and to concentrate one’s attention.
Many people now associate yoga with physical poses (‘Asana in Sanskrit), which can be practised to slow you down, help you to breathe better, relieve stress, become fitter or more flexible, increase serotonin levels and cultivate a sense of well-being. Its never too late to start learning and become familiar with a few asanas
You can do yoga at home, in a class or online. Always start slowly and never push your body to a place that feels painful. Hold each pose for a few breaths to allow body, breath and mind to settle. And always come out calmly if you are uncomfortable.
